Alan Villiers was a distinguished sailor, author and photographer. His work vividly records the period of early 20th century maritime history. Villiers was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1903, and first went to sea at 15 as an apprentice on board the Rothesay Bay. This barque was one of the few sailing vessels that still traded there, operating in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand.
- Villiers's work vividly records the period of early 20th century maritime history when merchant sailing vessels or ‘tall ships’ were in rapid decline. He was appointed a Trustee of the National Maritime Museum in 1948 and co-founded the Museum's collection of historic photographs.
